the ordeal, and fed, shrieking, to the
windows of the floor above, where their
cries for help almost drove their friends
frantic. In the meantime the hook and

down which the servants carried
women and children. who were afraid
to face the smoke and flames on the
lower floor. The clerk who was first
notified Of the fire made the most
strenuous efforts with his brigade to
put out the flames. but the
WATER COULD NOT BE GOT.
Manager Schoenwald, who only re-
sumed charge yesterday, seeing that the
hotel could not be saved, gave
orders that all hands devote them
selves to seeing that all the guests were
taken out and to saving as much of the
furniture and clothing as possible.
Soon the servants began to throw from
the windows beds. and bedding, and
such articles as would not be smashed
by the fall.
The ire was discovered fifteen min
utes before the alarm was given, and
five minutes later the last guest was out
OF the house. The horror of the night
was made worse by the pitchy darkness,
for soon after the ire broke out, the gas
main burst, and the hotel was plunged
in gloom. The frightened guests hud-
died together on the lawn and beneath
the shelter of the trees. The bowling
alley and saloon, which are
about 100 yards from the hotel, were
given up to the use of ladies and
children, and all the mattresses and
bedding that were saved were placed
there for their disposal. Most of the
baggage of the guests was in the annex.
that was the last part of the building to
catch fire and
NEARLY ALL OF THAT WAS SAVED,
but most of the baggage in the main
building was lost. Nearly all the things
in the safe were saved, and all kinds of
bric-a brac and yaluables were scattered
aoout on the lawn. The male guests
worked hard tossave why they could,
but the heat soon became so
intense that they were driven away
from the building. There was no
wind blowing. or the bowling alley
and stables would have caught.
In less than half an hour the huge
building was enveloped in flames, and
within three hours was totally con-
sumed, the only yestge remaining being
the brick chimneys.
THE TOTAL LOSS,
including the losses OF the guests, will
probably reach $1,50O,OOO. The only
guest who was at all injured was Cap
tain Scott, a Boston capitalist, who
burned his hands in too rapid descent
on rope from the window of the room
he occupied.
From the fact that the water pipes
had been tempered with and that i'm
mediately after the first outbreak of the
fire, flames were noticed in another |

which should attract the attention Of
everyone. That is, the advantages it
offers as 3 savings institution. Any one

that this will be an iniucement to people
OF small means to invest their money
1t not only enables people to obtain
homes, but also enables them to invest
small amounts, monthly, in stock which
will pay them good return. This is
no experiment but is plan that has
been tried foryears. These organizations
have been formed in all of the northern
states, and have successfully proven
their efficiency. They have been tried in
